He's on CNN right now."The reason I am here right now is that the American voters have made their choice, and so have I."He apparently got Obama on board with an anti-poverty initiative.How many politicians would parlay their supporters and their clout into something that wasn't purely for themselves? I like Edwards. He can stay. He's giving some his own stump speech, but he whole-heartedly endorsed Obama too. "There is one man who [understands the bold leadership it will take, etc. etc.], and that man is Barack Obama... YES WE CAN." ...

How can the news of more than 50,000 dead be any worse?  Well, have a military government that is trying to stay in power.  That’s how to make a bad situation worse.  The government has taken UN aid (for itself).  So, the UN is pulling out.  If that isn’t bad enough, the US and other western countries have not been allowed in to help.  Update:  It looks like the UN is being allowed back into the country.  This is madness. ——— From CNN: Hiding under a blanket in the back of a car at a police checkpoint. ...

And now in a G-A-Y exclusive: We have been given a special message that a Mr. J. Christ would like to deliver to those members of the religious right who think they hold ownership of his existence and teachings. Take it away, J: (Note: Lip syncing issues are apparently due to the distance of the satellite feed) AC_Voki_Embed(200,267,"073c85d96df6f63224a6a5d2764d4acb",450957, 1, "", 0); We scored a nice "get," right? But that's not all: Be sure to look for future exclusive video feeds, where we're expecting J's father to do a bitchin' rendition of the Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil"! Take that, CNN! **NOTE: We have a sneaking ...

This month's The Advocate features a cover story about former CNN Headline News and The Insider anchor, Thomas Roberts. Roberts was outed by a blog when he was an anchor at CNN in 2006, but has since openly discussed the issue. "If people don't like that I'm gay or that I talk about being gay, I'm sorry. Because that's not my problem," he tells The Advocate's Sean Kennedy. When Roberts left CNN a year ago, he ended up at The Insider. Despite being out, there was a reluctance from his employer to let him talk about ...

What would you do if hunky homo-journo Thomas Roberts hiked you out into the wilderness? Whatever it is, we bet you didn’t think “Interview him!” Well, that’s what The Advocate’s Sean Kennedy did - fool! - and got the 35-year old to open up on about his very public exit from CNN. Contrary to rumors, says Roberts, he was not fired suspiciously close to coming out. His contract was over and, you know, he had personal shit. The boys then get into the reality of news television - and how it’s too conservative for an openly gay anchor. In ...

Majority of Americans think that the country is doing badly, in fact 70% according to a CNN poll. Citizens gave a similar rating at the same time as the last Bush was in power 16 years ago. Yesterday another CNN poll stated that the current Bush had the highest disapproval rating of any president ever - quite an accomplishment, I am sure he is very proud of himself for screwing so many people. addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stevenrowe.org%2Fwordpress%2F%3Fp%3D519'; addthis_title = 'Dumb+and+Dumber'; addthis_pub = 'stevendrowe'; ...

However horrible it is now to picture The View's slightly doddering senior, Barbara Walters, being intimate with a man, she did in fact have her share of flings. On Tuesday's Oprah she admits to having an affair in the 1970s with Edward Brooke, the Republican senator from Massachusets. "I was certainly involved," Walters tells Winfrey. "He was exciting. He was bwilliant. It was exciting times in Washington." Brooke was the first African-American to be popularly elected into the Senate, in 1967, and because their romance would have ruined both their careers had it been made public, Walters waited ...
